Prince Harry joins rock royalty Jon Bon Jovi at Abbey Road studios

Prince Harry has joined Jon Bon Jovi at a recording session in Abbey Road studios, and recreated the iconic Beatles photo during his visit.

The duke dropped in on Bon Jovi and the Invictus Games choir at the studios, where the rock legend is working on this year’s Invictus Games song.

The 57-year-old rocker is in London to put down a new version of his song Unbroken in support of the games in May in the Netherlands.

Harry was greeted outside the infamous studios on a wet Friday morning, before the Sussex Royal instagram shared a video of him at the microphone next to Bon Jovi.

But it was later confirmed that Harry’s voice won’t be on the track.

Posting a round-up video of the day, Sussex Royal wrote: “Although The Duke was unable to sing, leaving the vocals to the professionals, the special single that was recorded in Studio 2 where The Beatles recorded 11 out of their 13 albums, and will be released in March in support of the @WeAreInvictusGames.”

Later, Harry, Bon Jovi and two of the choir members braved the rain to get their own version of the Abbey Road picture.

The crossing has Grade II listed status and every year, hundreds of music fans flock to get their own version of the photo.

Police stopped traffic for Prince Harry, Bon Jovi, former serviceman Andy Mudd and Susan Warner, to get the shot.
